Useful swaps

  • Use naan or English muffins as the base.
  • Add pepperoni to some pizzas for a mixed-preference household.

Why this is a good weeknight call

Only 8 minutes are hands-on. It keeps the cleanup to one main pan. The ingredient list stays focused, and the recipe has a clear stopping point instead of extra optional projects.
